THE FAMILY BIBLE OF WADE HAMPTON GARRISS
________________________________________
The original of this Bible is held by (a) Mrs Sarah Louise (Norfleet)
Garriss, widow of Dr Frank Henry Garriss, BOX 268, Lewiston, NC, or
by her daughter (b) Frances Norfleet Garriss, wife of Dr Rupert
Wadsworth Jilcott, III, 2105 Dallas Drive, Kinston, NC. The Bible
was printed, in 1846, by THOMAS COWPERTHWAIT & COMPANY, of Philadel-
phia, PA.
This family stemmed from Southampton County, VA, later located in
Northampton County, NC: then, as the county boundareis were realigned,
found themselves in Hertford/Bertie Counties, NC. For further details
on the family, plus tie-ins to the Baker, Harrell and other groups,
see Colonial Roots, by this contributer, dated 1976.
The entries from the Bible are certified to be correct; as will be
noted, there are several uncorrelated data on a number of individuals
whose relationships have not yet been Acceptably established. Further,
the Bible is now in a state of almost complete ruin ; in a very few
years, the chemical reaction of the ink on various pages will render
it virtually useless for documentary purposes. Parenthetical items
were added to assist an interested reader and/or researcher.
